Based on 11 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 55% of 3.0Y high
55% of all-time peak
Only 11 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 20 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 55% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 27% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-27% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 29% buying
2 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 2 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 2 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
73% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 73% conviction (2yr+)
■ 9% medium
■ 18% new
8 out of 11 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -39%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added -39% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
1 → 2 → 2 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 2 → 1 → 2. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 73% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 73% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Of 11 current holders: 8 (73%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 9% top-100 AUM
9% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 1 of 11 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 2.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
